A judge formally sentenced Scott Peterson to death Wednesday for murdering his pregnant wife Laci. Peterson will soon be housed at California's infamous San Quentin Prison.

Officials aren’t disclosing information about transporting Peterson to San Quentin Prison from a jail in Redwood City. But when he does arrive at the maximum-security facility, he’ll immediately be processed, according to Eric Messick, an assistant to the Warden. "He would be given all his state-issued clothing and his state-issued bedding," says Messick. "He’d be given a rulebook and he’d be housed in his cell, after he’s been stripped-searched."

Messick says once Peterson is transferred to the main cellblock, he’ll become the 616th inmate on California's death row. That status, Messick says, guarantees Peterson his own 48-square foot cell. "It has a single bunk in it. He’ll have a commode in his cell. He’ll have a small sink. And he’ll also have a small wall locker."

Peterson will spend most of each day in his cell. He’ll have an opportunity to leave for exercise in the yard for up to four hours a day.

Over the years, some death row inmates have tried to escape from San Quentin, but no one has ever succeeded.
